I was ready to complain about the length of the video and then it just flew by. One of the best, Dave.

😂😂😂 Really great video. He is a really good teacher, and fluent in explaining things in a way as to not muddy the clear objective. Very well done. 👍

This video is such a good resource! I'm sure I'll watch it about 27 more times as I gear up to cut my first dovetails, haha. Thanks, gents.

awesome collaboration, katz-moses is the dovetail king nicely done guy's

[mlwadester]

Great to be able to put a face to a patreon's name. Bought two jigs. You guys rock.

[damonkinney]

Thank you for playing the whole "Sand in the place where you live" this time... Saved my sanity and I can rest easy now!

[Gunbudder]

that type of plastic is INCREDIBLY easy to scratch. i'm amazed the one you use in the video isn't totally cloudy from scratches

[grandolddrummer]

I'm about 6 minutes in and there's already a TON of great information.

[cuttingedgewoods]

My neighbors keep asking why I don't come over anymore after watching this video.  Great descriptions and awesome walk through.  Thanks guys!

[jamesgrogan]

I love this video. I will be coming back to reference this in the future. I'm a big fan of the all of these videos and this collaboration is absolutely fantastic. Please keep up everything that you're doing. It is greatly appreciated.

Cool focus bro. Haha. Your tattoo was perfectly focused! Great video. I will be be watching them both again and again.

[jayktmk]

So cool to see the guy we heard every week. Awesome story behind the jig he made!

[karlpountney]

A great video. Like you I rarely use dovetails but when I do I suck at it. Can't wait to try the technique here.

[georgewest]

Awesome video guys. I have been cutting hand cut DTs inconsistently for ages. I recently bought Jonathan's amazing jig. WOW, thanks Jonathan. Also wanted to give Lee Marshall a shout out for his incredible Knew Concepts Coping/Fret saws, they simply take the work out of removing DT waste. Gotta love good products/tools that actually do what they are supposed to. When you find them, spread the word, hopefully when you are looking at your next tool, someone like me is there to make a choice easier.

Thanks again guys.

[joshuaherdman]

The Just the tip joke totally went over his head. Gotta love it!

[dpmakestuff]

I will also throw my support behind this jig! It makes cutting dovetails much more approachable! Get one!

[FajnyAleZaNiski]

+1 the real art of woodworking not machine ads, this is what I like the most :-)

[billdiehl]

David!! That was a great video! I had pretty much given up on trying to cut dovetails. Now I can't wait to get back out to my woodshop. I will definitely be ordering the jig as well. Big thank you to Jonathan J. K. M. for his great tips!
